This was a gift from my friends Amy & Keith Wiley, and it turned out to be a wonderful present. Using evolutionary theory, physics, biology, neurology, psychology, and philosophy, Jourdain explores our ability to appreciate and create music. The writing is clean and quickly-paced and each chapter contains several “I didn’t know that!” moments. Highly recommended.
This Python programming cookbook lives up to the standard set by the excellent Perl Cookbook. In addition, this book is associated with a website where the programming recipes were originally collected from Python users. The website continues to grow and collect new recipes and thus represents a great resource for Python programmers.
This illustrated biography of the genius physicist Richard Feynman is an engrossing account of the remarkable man.
I occasionally like to take photographs and this is a good reference for using 35mm cameras.
An early collaboration by Gaiman and McKean. Excellent.
A graphic novel about doomed romance. Very strange and pretty good.
A fantastic story written by Gaiman and illustrated by McKean. Mr. Punch is the main character of Punch and Judy shows.
I thought this was alright. Judging by the reviews, I must have missed something.
The first journal of Jim’s Journal was titled “I went to College and it was okay”. This is the complete collection of the Jim’s Journal comic strips. It’s a very simple strip that makes me happy every time I read it. Incidentally, Dikkers became the editor-in-chief at The Onion.
